Chapter 341
The emotion in Cedrick’s eyes faded, and he seemed to deflate, but he quickly pulled himself together, as if afraid Lucille would get in the car and leave, and said urgently, “So that’s why we need to have a proper talk, right?
I don’t know what you’re thinking, and you don’t know what I’m thinking. We’ve both been acting unilaterally, so that’s why we need to communicate, right?”
Lucille shook her head faintly. “No. Communication is only necessary when two people still want to make things work. Cedrick, I don’t want to be with you anymore, so there’s no need to communicate at all.”
“That’s not it, Lucille.”
Cedrick glanced at Robert, hoping he would give them some privacy, but Robert had no intention of doing so. He had to continue, or he didn’t know when he’d see her again. “Lucille, I didn’t understand before. I was stupid. You put down roots in my life a long time ago, I just ignored it before. Lucille, I…”
His eyes grew hot, and his throat tightened, making it impossible to speak.
Lucille looked at him helplessly. “Cedrick, what are you trying to say?”
“Lucille, I can’t live without you.‘
He choked out.
Lucille scoffed. “Cedrick, it seems pretty easy for people to put down roots in your life.”
Her words left Cedrick stunned.
“Five years ago, someone put down roots in your heart. I saw how you were in unbearable pain when she left and ripped those roots out.
What?
Five years later, are you going to be in unbearable pain all over again?”
Lucille said coldly, “How many times in one lifetime can you have this ‘deep affection“?
Too many, and it becomes cheap.”

“Lucille, I didn’t, that’s not what happened back then…” Cedrick tried to explain anxiously, but his phone rang.
He glanced at it, saw it was Harlan, and didn’t answer.
Then a message from Harlan came in. The content was clearly visible on the lock screen, and his face instantly turned pale.
The phone rang again. It was still Harlan.
Cedrick answered the phone, his hand trembling, “Hello?”
“Did you see my message?”
“Get over here now!”
Harlan yelled from the other end.
“I saw it…” Cedrick sounded as if his soul had been drained from his body. “I know.”
After hanging up, he looked at Lucille again. The passion in his eyes was gone, replaced by endless pain. He opened his mouth, but couldn’t get a single word out.
Lucille had finished speaking. Seeing how he’d become a completely different person, she had no intention of continuing the conversation. She opened the car door, “Bro, let’s go.”
But Cedrick didn’t try to stop her, nor did he finish what he was saying.
Robert stood outside the car, looking at him with contempt. “Why’d you stop talking?”
“Did you find something more important than my sister again?”
Cedrick said nothing. The previous hostility he had toward Robert vanished, his eyes filled only with endless pain and reluctance as he looked at Lucille in the car.
Lucille didn’t look back at all, but she heard what Robert said. Wasn’t giving up on her his standard move?
It’s just that the heart that had been lashed with pain from Cedrick giving up on her countless times now felt nothing at all.
“Bro, don’t waste your breath on him. Let’s go.”
She urged Robert from inside the car.
Robert seemed to have a good idea of what was going on with Cedrick. He just smiled and said

Cedrick didn’t know what Robert meant by that. He just stared blankly as Robert also got into the car, and then it sped off
Why did Robert always give him the feeling that he knew everything?
So this time, what did he know when he said that?
